Well, that's where I'd put the marine biologist if I had one. Unless, or course, an unlucky roll on the fright table had given him or her a phobia of boats or deep water. And then….
Perhaps the question needs to be "who goes on the 'plane rather than the boat"? (a) The people whose investigations most profit from earliest-possible access? (b) The people who have to be there when the others get there, or who can give an early warning for the others not to land?
